AML WSC Barcode Scanner

SKU: 

MOD-WSC

The AML WSC wearable scanner series provides fast, hands-free 1D and 2D barcode scanning for mobile workers in high-volume industrial operations. Lightweight designs under 2.1 ounces support finger or back-of-hand mounting, while Bluetooth connectivity, USB-C support, and a 600 mAh swappable battery help maintain productivity throughout the shift. The WSC-1600 offers standard-range imaging, while the WSC-2700 adds near/far 2D barcode capture at distances up to 40+ feet. Built to withstand 5-foot drops to concrete, the WSC series is well suited for warehousing, manufacturing, distribution, inventory control, order picking, and logistics workflows.

Description
ico-plus ico-minus

The AML WSC is a wearable barcode scanner built for mobile workers who need both hands free throughout their shift. Worn on the finger or the back of the hand, it delivers 1D and 2D barcode scanning over wireless Bluetooth connections, with a swappable battery and drop-resistant construction sized for full-day industrial use.


Key Features:

  • Hands-free finger or back-of-hand mounting supports left- or right-hand configurations, keeping both hands available for picking, packing, or handling tasks.
  • Scan range is available from 2.2 in to 19.5 in on the WSC-1600 and from 2.2 in to more than 40 ft on the WSC-2700, covering close-range and long-distance barcode reads from the same form factor.
  • Wireless connectivity supports HID Keyboard, SPP, and BLE profiles with a range of up to 150 ft without obstruction, allowing workers to move freely without breaking the connection to their host device.
  • A 600 mAh swappable Li-Ion battery charges in approximately 100 minutes via USB Type-C and can be exchanged without tools, minimizing downtime between shifts.
  • Drop resistance to 5 ft onto concrete gives the scanner the durability to survive everyday industrial handling without requiring protective cases.
  • LED, beeper, and vibration notifications confirm each successful scan through sight, sound, and touch, so workers get clear feedback even in noisy or visually busy environments.
  • Operating temperature range of -10 degrees C to 50 degrees C (14 degrees F to 122 degrees F) keeps the scanner functional across a wide span of ambient conditions.


Wearable Form Factor Built Around the Worker

At 1.62 oz for the WSC-1600 and 2.08 oz for the WSC-2700, both models are light enough to wear continuously without adding meaningful fatigue to the hand or wrist. Mounting configurations support index-finger and back-of-hand placement for both left- and right-handed users, so the same hardware can be deployed across a mixed workforce without special ordering.


Scan Range Suits the Task at Hand

The WSC-1600 reads barcodes from 2.2 in to 19.5 in, covering the close-range reads typical of shelf-level picking and packing. Its optical sensor resolves at 1280 x 960 pixels. The WSC-2700 extends the working range from the same 2.2 in minimum out to more than 40 ft, with a 2688 x 1520 pixel sensor, making it suited to applications where codes appear on elevated racking or at a distance from the worker.


Wireless Connectivity and Profile Support

Both models communicate over Bluetooth using HID Keyboard, SPP, and Bluetooth Low Energy profiles. With a wireless range of up to 150 ft in unobstructed conditions, the scanner maintains its connection as workers move through large floor areas. The USB Type-C interface handles charging and can also serve as a wired connection path.


Battery Management and Charging

The 600 mAh Li-Ion battery is designed to be swapped rather than recharged in place. Charging runs at 5V and takes approximately 100 minutes to complete, so a spare battery can be ready before the depleted one has fully cycled. The swappable design means a worker can exchange batteries in the field rather than returning to a docking station.


Notifications Keep Workers in Sync

Scan confirmation is delivered through three independent channels: an LED indicator, an audible beeper, and vibration. Having all three available means the notification method can be matched to the environment — vibration where noise levels are high, audio where the hand is not in the worker's line of sight — without requiring a different device.


Physical Durability for Industrial Conditions

The WSC series is rated to withstand drops of 5 ft to concrete, which covers the height of a typical worker's waist or wrist. The operating temperature window of -10 degrees C to 50 degrees C (14 degrees F to 122 degrees F) keeps performance consistent from cold-storage environments through to warm indoor facilities.


Physical Dimensions

The WSC-1600 measures 2.55 in x 1.36 in x 1.03 in and weighs 1.62 oz. The WSC-2700 measures 2.76 in x 1.43 in x 1.12 in and weighs 2.08 oz. Both are compact enough to avoid interfering with normal hand and wrist movements during scanning tasks.

FAQs

What is the difference in scan range between the AML WSC-1600 and the AML WSC-2700?
The WSC-1600 covers a standard range of 2.2 inches to 19.5 inches, while the WSC-2700 is built for near/far scanning from 2.2 inches to more than 40 feet, making it better suited for applications that require reading barcodes at longer distances such as high-rack warehouse picking.
How long does the AML WSC wearable scanner battery take to charge, and can it be swapped in the field?
The 600 mAh Li-Ion battery charges in approximately 100 minutes at 5V via USB Type-C and is designed to be swappable, so workers can replace it without taking the scanner out of service.
What wireless profiles and range does the AML WSC wearable scanner support?
It supports HID Keyboard, SPP, and Bluetooth Low Energy profiles with a wireless range of up to 150 feet in unobstructed conditions.
How durable is the AML WSC wearable scanner for use in warehouse or manufacturing environments?
The WSC series is rated to withstand 5-foot drops to concrete and operates across a temperature range of -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F), making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
What mounting and feedback options does the AML WSC wearable scanner offer?
It supports finger-mount and optional back-of-hand configurations for both left- and right-hand use, and provides LED, audible beeper, and vibration feedback to confirm successful scans.
Which host devices is the AML WSC wearable scanner compatible with?
The WSC series can pair with compatible wireless host devices, including AML Android-based systems such as the Dragonfly wearable computer and Firebird VMU.
